As he said, there is no rule. You can use 75 different sleeves. If you wanted, you could mark your deck sleeves just as easily as your sideboard sleeves.
I like the deck, but I don't know about the three koths. Do NOT replace them w/ Chandra, the Firebrand though, she simply isn't a good card. If you do keep koth (or maybe even if you don't) I think volt charge would be really good in here. It works well with Liliana, Koth, and the shrine of burning rage.
Another card I would strongly consider is geistflame. It works well with Liliana, the shrine, and chandra's phoenix. Tons of decks are running inkmoth, so it will certainly find use. I doubt you ever get metalcraft, so you could replace the galvanic blast with the geistflames.
Altar's Reap seems a little odd to me. How often are you able to use it effectively? It's fun with act of aggression, but otherwise I think tezzeret's gambit would be better (though I'm not sure if that's worth it either). Just using it to sac a skeleton is the best scenario, but that's a 4 mana investment.
Anyways, I like the deck idea a lot. I'm making a similar one, which will likely include blue for snapcaster mage and forbidden alchemy.
Liliana should fit really well in here (w/ skeleton + snapcaster mage recursion).
Spellskite can always be used MB with Tez. It helps with aggro, it protects your swords, and it protects inkmoth nexus . . . plus it's good against Kessig Wolf Run and O-ring . . . plus it can carry a sword if you need it to.
You could benefit with some draw other than Tez. Forbidden Alchemy would be especially good for this since you can put skeletons in GY.
I'm not sure about the wellsprings. If you got rid of them and the 4 Phyrexia's Cores, it would free up some room.
Lastly, I have always liked solemn simulacrum in Tez lists, and you could also include another win-con like batterskull, though I'm not sure if it's necessary.
I wish it was good because I love the art, but I don't think it can be very competitive. The lack of lifelink makes it a whole lot worse than baneslayer angel. Also, it is clearly not a worthwhile card without a human in play
I've been playing him with a Tezz-infect deck some. All of the efficient artifact hate is certainly a problem though, as you mentioned. Surgical extraction is a good option against ancient grudge. I think white decks are the biggest problem, since stony silence is ridiculous. One plus, however, is that phyrexian crusader happens to be good against white.
Am i wrong?
Suntitan comes in play > ETB Ability triggers targeting Immage > I doom blade the titan > image enters the board, and has nothing to copy, thus dies? (assuming they, nor I have a creature)
That's not how it works. The image will still come in as a Sun Titan.
With regards to the original list, I've got to say that Memnite is totally unplayable in a Tezzeret deck that you don't want being a one-trick pony. Without the Tezzfather, you're losing a card in hand for a 1/1 that doesn't really do anything. The same thing goes for the Vault Skirge
I was going to say pretty much the same thing. Vault Skirge and Memnite are close to worthless if you don't get Tez out, especially the Memnites, I don't know why they're in there, the deck is way too slow for them.
That's a pretty sweet vamp lord. The green removal is not too bad either, I wonder if it'll see constructed play. Beast within will probably be better for most situations.
Where are the 4x Blade Splicers?! They're awesome with shape anew. One way to go about this deck is with Blade Splicer, Master Splicer, Wing Splicer, and Venser, the Sojourner to make free golemns ever turn. Also, Venser can make your Blightsteel unblockable or a bunch of golems unblockable. I've never actually made the deck, but it seems really cool in theory. They all work really well together and give perfect targets for shape anew.

I do like smallpox, or at least the idea of smallpox, but it doesn't work sadly.
They can not be used in standard (unless they were printed in INN, Scars of Mirridon, or M12 as well).

PS - manabarbs is a very odd sideboard choice....
